Winter is on its way!

 Hi Woofers!

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret here again!

Now, you know how certain things happen that signify a change or the arrival of a season or even an event? Like Whizz Bangs going off midd August which tells you Guy Forks Night is coming soon. Well when winter is coming we get frosts and chilly winds and shivers down the spine, another early sign is the automatic central heating. Today, Old Two Legs got up and headed for the shower and as he passed the towel rail he touched it only to find it was hot, very hot!

Now, that only comes on at a temperature OTL has set on the thermostat as 'Cold'!

So, there it was, a towel rail gently roasting a couple of towels and OTL sobbing cos the price of keeping warm has gone up!

This morning it rained but it was before we went out for our walk. By the time we got out it was wet but not raining. Great! No problems except that the grass was wet and young Eric, having very short legs and a tummy that is held close to the ground, managed to get a soaking wet tummy!

Now, young Eric has worked out that if the grass is wet or cold, all he has to do is climb up OTL's leg until OTL bends down and lets Eric climb onto his warm, dry jacket. That is until his tummy gets dried on the arm of OTL's jacket, whereupon he struggles to get down again and walks along until his tummy gets wet again and off we go again, Daddy I want a Carry!

I must admit, lunchtime walk was a little boring, only one woofer we haven't seen for some time and it was just a quick sniff and off we go!

Mind you, there were some interesting sniffs around the poo bin!

You will never guess what this is!

One of the interesting things about the forrest walk is the stuff that has been buried over the years. Take today, we have passed this spot for over ten years and today we scratched the surface and this honking great sniff just jumped out of the ground!

I mean, it nearly blew my ears off!

Hey Sis! Just get a load of this one!

I had a really good scratch at the ground and it was getting stronger the deeper I dug. Well, Holly walked back and had a sniff and a scratch and another sniff and another scratch and it was then that OTL saw what we were doing and told us to 'Leave it Alone'!

That's the trouble with OTL, he just don't appreciate a good sniff!

We all sat down this afternoon to watch the F1 Racing and to be honest, it was a fast race but just a little boring. I mean, the start was exciting for the first few corners then some overtaking a bit later on but I must admit, I have seen better.

The next race is in Italy, so we are expecting a little more excitement!

See you tomorrow!

Luv,

Daisy, Holly, Miss Wendy and Eric de Ferret.
